I like how final fantasy X, despite not using prerendered backgrounds, uses fixed camera angles and choppy background animations to mimic what the prerendered backgrounds of FFs VII-IX looked like.

And yes, all of those are entirely reasonable measures if you do the math.

Funtime activity: Sticking metric prefixes on things that should under no circumstances have metric prefixes on them.

When watching a speedrun of Fire Emblem a few days ago (it was either the one at this GDQ or last year's RPGLB), we saw some people arguing (in jest) about whether swords or spears are better, and one of the arguments that came up was that swords are much cheaper and use less metal and uh

no???

the entire reason spears were so common in ancient and medieval armies is because they were cheap as dirt compared to a good quality sword or even a mace
